"Lifes Hard bro, get a helmet."- Boy Meets World
How true those words are. Life is so hard. And all I can think about is how hard it is for me. "my life sucks" "poor me" etc. Well you know what life sucks for everyone. Because if it didnt, then it wouldnt be life. When I went to Europe we had a british tour director and he had a line he would always say. I never really thought much about it till recently. Whenever something would go wrong he would say "Not a drama". And you know what, Hes right. Most of everything that we make such a big deal about, isnt really a big deal at all. So when life hits you hard, take a step back, look at your situation, and most likely, its not a drama. I could go on about a bunch of other cliches, like Life's too short etc. And in reality. They are all true. Life is too short to be sad, to be lonley, to be selfish. We have one life to live, do I really want to spend most of it thinking about how life could be so much better if only......
Joy can be a powerful thing. Mainly because its not just being happy for a certain period because happy always ends. But Joy can last forever if you get it from the right spot. And thats not from friends, family, or even music. Joy can be attained from Jesus. Really my life isnt all that bad right now, sure all my friends are gone and I spend a lot of time alone. But at least I still have my Dreams, my Hopes, and my future to look forward too. I may feel lonley at times, but I know there are people who care about me, and I know that Im not someone who struggles with being social. I want to love the life im living. And just take it easy. Life, when surrounded by work is boring. Work hard Play Harder. Life with out fun, joy, and laughter is dull. So be Joyful.
